Gear lever resonating?

[JMF894]

Yo,

Chaps, if i hold onto the gear lever whilst driving i can get a metallic, rattly, resonating sensation coming up through the gear lever. Is this normal or would it indicate worn linkage bushes or something else worn?

Cheers

I have recently had the same thing and it was indeed the bushes, i have done a temp repair, i have used a cable tie round the remote housing and a chassis rail and lifted it and got rid of the problem.

Sounds like bushes, if i were you i would get them changed some time soon as there not to hard to change just hard to get to...
Dont go for the cable tie option.

Yep, you need patience, long arms and a good socket set.
